The very beautiful and fascinating #KandrourBridge is 8 kilometers from #Bilaspur on National Highway No-88. It is across the river Satluj. Its construction was started in April,1959 and was completed in 1965. The span of the bridge is about 280 meters with a breadth of about seven meters and the height above the lowest river bed below is about 80 meters, making it one of the highest bridge in the world. It is ranked first in Asia for its height. It has provided a link between Bilaspur, Ghumarwin and Hamirpur district, and is a marvelous engineering feat. The pillars supporting the bridge are hollowed.
The #KoldamDam Hydropower Project commonly known as #KolDam, is an embankment dam on the #SatlujRiver upstream of the #DeharPowerHouse. It is 18 km from #Bilaspur off the #Chandigarh-#Manali Highway (NH-21) near #Barmana, #HimachalPradesh. The main purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it will support an 800 MW power station. The dam was constructed by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
The foundation stone for the dam was laid on 5 June 2000 by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
